Reigns Devolver Sit on the throne as a benevolent (or malevolent) medieval monarch of the modern age and swipe your royal fingers either… TouchArcade Rating: $2.99 Buy Now Watch Media DetailsSit on the throne as a benevolent (or malevolent) medieval monarch of the modern age and swipe your royal fingers either left or right to impose your will upon the kingdom. Survive the seemingly never-ending gauntlet of requests from your advisors, peasants, allies, and enemies while maintaining balance between the influential factions of your kingdom. But beware; each decision you make might have implications and unfortunate consequences down the road that could put your reign and family’s dynasty at risk! Each year of your reign brings another important – seemingly random – request from your unpredictable kingdom as you strive for balance between the church, the people, the army, and the treasury. Prudent decisions and careful planning make for a long reign but unforeseen motivations, surprise events, and poor luck can take down even the most entrenched monarch. Extend your reign as long as possible, forge alliances, make enemies, and find new ways to die as your dynasty marches along through the ages. Some events will span on centuries, with an intrigue involving burning witches, scientific enlightenment, wicked politics and, maybe, the Devil himself. *iPhone 5 / iPod Touch 6 / iPad Mini / iPad Air or later recommended.

You make decisions by swiping lift or right, the pace of the game is super high. A game could take about 10 minutes when you're as terrible as I am. While you play you unlock some extra cards and after you die the timeline continues and you'll continue playing as the new king. Kind of reminds me of the Dictator games, where you have to keep all the factions happy or else there will be a revolt.

Misguided Well-Known Member Jan 27, 2009 2,346 19 38 #4 Misguided, Aug 10, 2016 Ack! Why is there no 180 degree screen rotation? Kimchisoju Well-Known Member Jan 11, 2015 219 3 18 Male Caregiver #5 Kimchisoju, Aug 10, 2016 Bought it! So, ive been looking foward to this and ive had misconceptions but it was an impulse buy but its a good impulse buy! Its much deeper than i thought it would be Misguided Well-Known Member Jan 27, 2009 2,346 19 38 #6 Misguided, Aug 10, 2016 Agreed. Some pretty wacky stuff has happened to me. nerial Well-Known Member Feb 24, 2014 82 0 0 London #7 nerial, Aug 10, 2016 Glad you like it! There's rotation on iPad, in the options (we don't really like when the screen turn on its own accord, so it's an option). On the iPhone it's not possible because landscape mode is actually pretty unreadable. rezn Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Mar 8, 2014 862 6 18 Male Coder/Keyer in medical ICD 10 Reno, NV #8 rezn, Aug 10, 2016 Published by Digital Devolver uh yeah I'm all over this. Misguided Well-Known Member Jan 27, 2009 2,346 19 38 #9 Misguided, Aug 10, 2016 No, 180 degrees, so you can use a Smart Cover with it. Liking the game so far, but really frustrating when devs overlook this. At least there's a portrait mode. rtificial Well-Known Member Sep 14, 2015 98 0 6 pastry chef Georiga #10 rtificial, Aug 10, 2016 Yay finally out! Now to go find some wifi and download this. nerial Well-Known Member Feb 24, 2014 82 0 0 London #11 nerial, Aug 10, 2016 Thanks! I'm the dev. Oh... I see what you mean, you're using the cover in the lower position. Thanks, I will try to push an update for that (not the next one, but the following most probably). OrangeKnickers Well-Known Member Dec 17, 2013 53 0 0 #12 OrangeKnickers, Aug 10, 2016 Last edited: Aug 10, 2016 Absolutely love this game. This definitely has been my best instabuy in a long time and it offers pretty diverse and deep gameplay with each new reign. And I realy really lobe it for the Monkey Islandish duels, with some pretty hilarious and sometimes weird dialogues. Add that to achievements, quests, unlocks of new cards, reign- and game-lasting effects and I am as happy as can be. Just one question, is there an easy way to reset the game? Edit: First time reigning for over 50 years, and it feels like a strong achievement. The mushrooms rule!!! Misguided Well-Known Member Jan 27, 2009 2,346 19 38 #13 Misguided, Aug 10, 2016 Appreciate that. I use the lower position constantly, and I think many others do as well. Yes, I realize you are the dev, I was speaking more broadly (this isn't a rare thing). jedmm New Member May 7, 2015 4 0 0 #14 jedmm, Aug 10, 2016 Been waiting for this! Buying now. esty8nine Well-Known Member Dec 21, 2013 1,044 0 0 #15 esty8nine, Aug 10, 2016 Is the replay ability there ? Enough depth to make you want to try and do better and better ? metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,065 1,342 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #16 metalcasket, Aug 10, 2016 This is so damn special. I can't recommend it enough. OrangeKnickers Well-Known Member Dec 17, 2013 53 0 0 #17 OrangeKnickers, Aug 10, 2016 Definitely. Although you do not replay literally. But there are so many different cards, lasting effects on future reigns, choices that will affect the current reign. It's just an amazing game for its minimalist look. Misguided Well-Known Member Jan 27, 2009 2,346 19 38 #18 Misguided, Aug 10, 2016 I was under the impression you can replay, literally, and have different long-game storylines. Might be mistaken esty8nine Well-Known Member Dec 21, 2013 1,044 0 0 #19 esty8nine, Aug 10, 2016 Sounds good to me ! vectorarchitekt Well-Known Member Dec 29, 2013 2,489 177 63 #20 vectorarchitekt, Aug 10, 2016 Made it to year 46 on my first run before the church tore me limb from limb. I am curious to see how long I can play before running into repeats.... (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
